What Is Crossplay and Crossprogression in COD?
Warzone and COD MW3 are crossplay in which all platforms can play with each other or against each other. Like, if you are an XBOX player, then you can queue or face up with Mobile players, PlayStation, and PC as well.
In Cross Progression, you, being an Xbox player, can link your PlayStation account to your Activision account and then play on PlayStation, and you can transfer all your progress. This includes the following.
- Battle pass progress
- Game progress
- COD points
- Ranks
Hence, Both Warzone and COD MW3 are cross-progression and crossplay games.
There’s a simple strategy: if an owner of the console you want to play on already has the game on his account, he can also play it on your account without you needing to purchase it when Crossplaying from a Console to a PC or a console to a console. It does not work as you, being a console player, will be able to play on a PC, but you need to purchase the game there regardless.
In order to play on another platform, you need to purchase the full version of MW3 for that platform as well. However, in the case of Warzone, which is free-to-play, you don’t have to purchase anything, as there is a limitation.

It’s best to have crossplay on because it makes finding games faster. However, many cheaters or hackers, especially on PCs, can cause problems. That’s why you might think about turning crossplay off if you’re on a console and notice too many cheaters.
